Well last week my project hit a speed bump in the form of the tutors and my pride......still following what i'm doing with the 3D little scenes from limerick i decided i'd paint the image instead of just manipulating the photos, not the best idea i've ever had but i didn't want to be accused of not trying other media and different ways of representing the scenes i was making other than just photographs. I personally didn't think it was that bad to be honest but i did invite a bit of an onslaught of criticism from the tutors because painting wouldn't be my strongest area. In other words.......they thought it was shit.
Now, i could see where the tutors were coming from so i'm not gonna say they were wrong, but at the same time i did want to finish it and have it there so they could see at least what i was trying to represent. So i did, and as much as i tried to stick up for it and try and convince myself that it wasn't that bad.......a small bit of pride swallowing took place and i have to really agree that it just plain and simply doesn't work. I still wouldn't consider it a waste of a week because there were parts that i can take and use them in the following pieces so all is not lost but here are a few pictures of the finished pieces anyway and i'll hopefully have something a little better and more positive on my next post.
